I still haven't heard anything from being on hold for D/E yet...

Seems weird they'd take trainees before direct entries.

Tommy,

They are taking DE primarily, with a few Trainees sneaking in here and there. This is what was told at the roadshow.

Yeah the NZ guys do an Aus QantasLink ground school. So the ground schools are a mix of NZ and Aus pilots.

Does anyone happen to have any contacts in recruitment that reply to emails ?

I am a 737 driver who applied for Direct Entry Qlink and I simply got an automated email saying my application was unsuccessful 3 days after I submitted. Seems strange given the composition of Qlink and Qantas mainline.

Just wanted to see if their was anyone I could pose the question to.

Cheers all

Seems very strange that you got an unsuccessful email without completing any assessments..I would reply to that email asking for an explanation as it could be a glitch in the system. Unfortunately I don't have any contacts that will help.

- For those waiting.........a further 2 ground schools scheduled for 2017. Up to 16 in each from what I hear.

Level 2's - maybe next year
Level 1's - No chance until you get your ATPL's

Why do they even have Level 1 if the pathway doesn’t actually exist? Merely to generate interest?

I applied awhile back for DEFO and received a relatively speedy reply saying my application for level 1 was not competitive. I suspect there are a lot of dart boards and fortune wheels around the office.

Ok Ok. so some good informations there but also the messages seems to be get that multi colomn filling with the hours but also maybe not just the hours. messages show there is some magic to get through also. two more GS this year is going to be a tight fit for the trainers i'm thinking so maybe your data is on the wrong side? but lets hope it closer to accuracy than not.

From what they said in the roadshows it was to get people into the recruitment process before they meet the Level 2 requirements because the process can take up to 6 months. That way people are going through the pipeline (subtext="whilst also getting their ATPL's") earlier instead of having to wait until they meet the higher requirements.

Anyone expecting to go into the right seat of an Airline without ATPL's is dreaming.

Eukey,

That makes sense. A bit like a graduate program in other industries I suppose.

About 6 weeks I believe. Line Training up to CTL is about 6 months with the ground school.

I believe that encompasses Ground School, Type Rating plus 100hrs ICUS etc.

Given how flat out their Sims are there is probably some delays for slots as well as the obvious delays due to lack of training captains to cover 1600hrs of ICUS per ground school.
